HGI Executive Learning Sets
It’s less lonely at the top when you’re a member of HGI’s Executive Learning Sets.
Learning Sets provide senior executives with a confidential network of peers with whom to strategise and problem solve organisational and management issues.
Membership Essentials:
- Each Learning Set is carefully constructed with member value in mind.
- Sets meet for 1-2 days every 3-4 months.
- Membership is annual, providing members with four scheduled meetings and access to the broader Learning Set network as a problem solving and information resource.
- Members gain a one-to-one consultation with the Set facilitator on career, organisational and professional issues between meetings.
- Sets rotate meeting locations for member convenience.
- HGI has a member-only, web-based secure site for each Learning Set that features articles, discussion boards and forums for ideas exchange.
Return On Investment
Set members can expect significant return on their annual investment, such as:
- PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Discussing strategic planning and organisational restructuring can help to refine and develop strategies to improve planning and change initiatives, people management, productivity, resource management, and save time and money.
- TROUBLE SHOOTING
Members tell us that their involvement in Learning Sets helps them to identify potential trouble spots in their organisations and develop strategies to manage and overcome those challenges.
- MANAGING THE MONEY
Members confidentially work with peers to address issues of budget deficits and non-revenue streams, creatively talk through and develop strategies, resulting in major financial advantage, savings and recovery.
- LEADING THE WAY
Members provide their peers with rigorous and constructive feedback on leadership and management style, with many members reporting that this feedback has improved their repertoire of skills.
- IMPROVING PEOPLE MANAGEMENT/BEST PRACTICE
Members raise complex and sensitive relationship issues with boards, senior executives and key stakeholders. The Learning Set environment enables members to discuss these issues in a safe environment with trusted colleagues, resulting in new strategies and successful outcomes.
- INSPIRING IDEAS
Sharing experiences and learning from peers provides work-based “action learning”, with many members saying the creative solutions to their problems are “priceless”.
- WORKING THE NETWORK
Members belong to a broader community of HGI Learning Sets that connect them with national and international CEOs and senior executives who can provide advice, assistance, contacts and resources.
- MAPPING FUTURES AND POTENTIAL
Set members discuss career and life options, with advice from peers helping to clarify goals and map career routes.
- DEVELOPING THE “ME”
Learning Sets can be a support system or sounding board to help members through difficult times, provide insight into personality styles and make sensible decisions in both their professional and personal lives.
- HIGH ON THE HILL…BUT NOT ALONE.
It can be lonely at the top; there are times when CEOs and senior executives are unable to discuss critical personal and organisational issues. Sets provide an outlet to explore their feelings and frustrations, and debrief in a safe environment.
